This also marks a new thing for WAPA (And, I suspect TGE). Not only does it establish defensive and trading ties with the Imperial Germans, but it also marks the establishment of a voluntary Common Candidate for the White Senate. To summarise, whichever candidate (TGE or WAPA) secures a White Senate seat as of Feb. 9th will receive the support of members from BOTH alliances in the term ending Mar. 9th. Thereafter, the election support will alternate between TGE's and WAPA's chosen candidates.
We're looking forward to a long and fruitful relationship with the German Empire!
Gott segne uns alle und es uns ermöglichen, gedeihen!
